Just finished reading the web novel and I loved it!! it was my first ever Chinese web novel. Does anyone have…
Try the ones in from this g-drive link: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/12s9rejfoi8Vyw83ybTaLEjsCI5PotJSr They're all epub format if you want to read locally! The modern ones very similar to the one you've read are "love for you" and "when I meet the moon". Though "love for you" is def more similar to this, i m sure you'll like "when i meet the moon" too. "When i meet the moon" also has a docx and pdf ver too. Oh, and the other ones aren't in a modern setting.
Y'all are gonna love When I Meet The Moon (Novel by Zhu Yi - author of Hidden Love and The First Frost and this one is in the same universe)! It s supposedly gonna release in summer this year and the FL is Lu Yu Xiao again :)
and to be clear, I’m mostly talking about the English tracks—those are the ones that sound off to me. I haven’t…
yes! i just started can this love be translated and genuinely felt like i was going a bit insane I had to mute the whole scene. the song plays right at the very beginning of episode one and immediately took me out. like… what are they even thinking? it is such a high-budget drama, visually stunning, filmed in all these beautiful, majestic locations clearly meant to lure us in, only for us to be hit with an ai-made song that’s honestly painful to listen to. and of course it’s in english. what makes it even worse is how much more obvious it is compared to the ai tracks i’ve noticed in other cdramas.
btw, as much as I absolutely love everything about this drama, I already miss the era we’re leaving behind.…
and to be clear, I’m mostly talking about the English tracks—those are the ones that sound off to me. I haven’t really noticed this issue with Chinese songs so far, and I think that’s largely because it’s the singers’ mother tongue. Also, has anyone else noticed how English songs are being used way more frequently—and in much higher density—in recent C-dramas compared to before? I wouldn’t be surprised if this is partly for convenience: clearer pronunciation, less hassle during production, etc. Sorry for the rant, it’s just really off-putting to me. I actually work with AI quite a lot and have made plenty of AI-generated songs myself (e.g. with Suno), and some of these OST tracks genuinely sound like something I could’ve made overnight. I genuinely hope to be mistaken but I just can't shake it off, it's so uncanny.
btw, as much as I absolutely love everything about this drama, I already miss the era we’re leaving behind. We’re kind of doomed tbh. Recent dramas have started using AI in their OSTs—not all tracks, but at least one or two per show, and it’s very noticeable if you know what to listen for. And yes, this is real. Just because a song lists an “artist” doesn’t mean it wasn’t AI-assisted or that the voice wasn’t cloned. In many cases, the melody, chord progression, demo vocals, and even the lyrics are AI-generated, with producers only polishing things at the end. Some artists don’t even realize how little of their actual voice is being used—sometimes as low as 30%—in songs they’re credited for. So yeah… it really feels like the start of a darker era for drama OSTs, and it makes me genuinely sad.
8.7?? ok I was already gonna watch this, but now I need to ASAP 👀 How’s the romance though—more light or heavy? Is it slow-burn or do they jump straight into it? Easy love or difficult love? Sorry for all the questions 😭 I already have way too many ongoing dramas and I’m trying to sort through them haha.
I usually go for angsty, emotionally heavy dramas with lots of tension, yearning, and that quiet, intimate tenderness. So when I heard this was a light, feel-good drama (and compared to The Best Thing, which I liked visually but found a bit too light for my taste), I expected to get bored somewhere in the middle. Surprise surprise — I’ve never loved a light drama this much before. Overall, it turned out to be a really good drama for me. Even though it’s lighter than what I usually watch, the slow burn completely carried it (and slow burn is always a win for me). There was drama — family issues, emotional moments, real-life stuff — just not over-the-top or chaotic, which honestly made it work even better. The pacing stayed solid, things kept happening, and I was never bored. And honestly? Even if it were just the leads sharing soft, happy moments, I’d still be glued to the screen and swooning. Definitely a feel-good drama… but also lowkey painful to watch if you’re single (especially the ending... I was literally heartwrenched with yearning) 🥲
